obama's speech last night to setting the tone of the d.n.c. it seemed so this really was a very big deal well i think it was the whole evening i think what you saw from democrats in our first night as compared to the republican convention is that there was a theme throughout the evening that led up to the first lady ladies unbelievably powerful speech there was an electricity in the arena last night with the women members of congress you know standing up for women with individual speaking about their own struggles but how that connects to a policy agenda that's about what government can and should should do and then the first lady speaking from her heart and i have to tell you there probably wasn't a dry eye in the arena because she talked about the president's character and his integrity and what she said is that he's a constant this is not about politics this is not about gaming the system it's about doing what's right for the american people that's what i heard from the first lady and so the first day was great and it just gets better and i
